Solution by Ioannes Kontostephanos of the dispute over Lavra's property of Archontochorion

Summary:
Ioannes Kontostephanos, doux of Thessalonike, agreed with the demand of Barlaam the hegoumenos and the Lavra monks that Archontochorion should be returned, because the original pronoia-holders had died and the clause concerning the paroikoi had been breached. He therefore instructed his subordinate Heliopolis to take action, which was confirmed by an imperial edict of Manuel I. Heliopolis went to Archontochorion and ordered the eight named paroikoi who had moved to the adjacent estate of Pankratios Anemas to return. Anemas promised not to allow a repeat of the problem. Kontostephanos issued a document under his seal to settle the dispute, and it was signed by Basileios Masiakos, chartophylax of the metropolitan see of Thessalonike, and Demetrios, that see's hypomnematographos
